Our coverage in Armagh
In a town like Armagh, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer.
That includes premises in BT60 and BT61 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Portadown, Dungannon and Craigavon. Buildings across County Armagh range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What we do
- Door size and exposure assessment
- Surface, recessed or concealed mounting
- Door contact and control set-up
- Connection to the air conditioning system where suitable
- Commissioning

From enquiry to handover in Armagh
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.
Select
The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.
Install
The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant. We keep work areas in Armagh screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Local points to consider
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Armagh are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the council's planning service before work is booked.
Who we work with in Armagh
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
In Northern Ireland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
